The All-New Super Friends Hour: Hitchhike (1977)





This is the second segment of the second episode of The All-New Super Friends Hour, unlike most other Super Friends formats, this one had hour long episodes that were made up of various shorter cartoons. The first segment would be an adventure staring two members (or three in some cases as Batman and Robin would often team with another Super Friend) of the Super Friends. The second would be a morality play staring the Wonder Twins. The third would be a typical half hour Super Friends adventure. The fourth and last segment would feature one of the main Super Friends teaming up with a special DC Comics guest star. 

In this episode a teen girl hitchhikes with a stranger. However, the stranger proves to be a very immoral person. Luckily the Wonder Twins rescue her from him. 

This is another lame Wonder Twins segment that focuses more on teaching kids a moral than actually being entertaining. The dialogue itself comes as overly didactic and is again more concerned with getting a message across rather than anything else. Even the action with the Wonder Twins is not very interesting.
